Honda XR650R How-to: Installing Acerbis Sahara 6.3 Gallon Fuel Tank The Honda XR650R is a rugged equipment package for desert enduro riding. By contemporary competition standards, 300 pounds wet is considered “heavy”, though winning the Baja 1000 repeatedly proved the mettle of this potent thumper! One weight-saving attempt was the factory 2.6 gallon fuel tank, which is simply too small for dual-sport riding or the magazine’s Big Red Pig (BRP) video filming platform! On the advice of Just Gas Tanks, the Acerbis Sahara 6.3 gallon replacement tank became our solution. In this detailed how-to HD video, see the installation of this large capacity aftermarket tank on the Honda XR650R motorcycle! Honda-XR650R-How-to-Installing-Acerbis-Sahara-6.3-Gallon-Fuel-Tank.html

Rebuilding the HondaXR650R Cylinder and Head at L.A. Sleeve Company The magazine’s Honda XR650R motorcycle came with very low hours on the bike. Unfortunately, the air filter had been sealing badly, and the result was an engine with damaged valves and excessively low compression. We turned to L.A. Sleeve for its Moly 2000 iron/chrome-moly alloy cylinder sleeve and cylinder head rebuilding. In this HD video, see what it takes to build an ultra reliable cylinder head and barrel at L.A. Sleeve. This bike will be used extensively as an HD video filming platform, and our aim is ultra-reliability for the remote backcountry!
